Avalanche

A reimagingation of Halo: Combat Evolved fan favorite, Sidewinder, Avalanche’s size makes it ideal for big ol’ games of Halo 3. Avalanche is a Forerunner power station set on a glacial shelf on an under-construction replacement for Installation 04.

Best Gametypes: Multi-Flag CTF, One Flag CTF, One Bomb, Team King, Team Slayer

Blackout

It's not a reimagination, it's a remake of one of Halo 2's most beloved maps. Blackout very nearly speaks the same language that its predecessor ,Lockout, spoke to Halo 2 players. Its long lines of sight and interconnected platforms preserved, but in a new location: a frigid UNSC research station beneath the low lights of the aurora borealis.

So, yeah, This week's Double EXP Weekend is running a little behind. I blame Ninja 0n Fire. (He tells me that some fairly large updates are being deployed and as a result, we'll likely not see the Double EXP Weekend go live until tomorrow, or, *gulp* "later").

Anoj didn't submit his latest entry to Comm Chatter, but they gang at HBO picked up the slack. Besides, even without Anoj's familiar wordplay, we all know what this video's about anyway. There's like ten kills. You can submit your own for next week if you're astute enough to figure out how to make it happen.
